Description
Add
guidance distinguishing U+2061 FUNCTION APPLICATION from U+2062 INVISIBLE
TIMES. Some authoring or OCR pipelines insert U+2062 between any identifier and
following parenthesis, causing f(x) to be spoken as “f times x.”
Recommended markup
<mi>f</mi><mo>⁡</mo><mo>(</mo><mi>x</mi><mo>)</mo>
Use
U+2062 only for genuine implicit multiplication, such as a(b + c).
Acceptance criteria
- U+2061 and U+2062 are clearly distinguished by name, code point, and intended use.
- Correct examples of function application and implicit multiplication are included.
- Guidance warns that an explicit incorrect operator prevents the reading system from inferring the intended function call.
- OCR or conversion checks flag U+2062 in probable function-call contexts for review.
